The Transfigurations/Twists of the Religious: An Introduction to the Theological Epistemology of Marcella Althaus-Reid

Abstract

Latin American cuir/questioning theology is a recent field of critical studies that not only draws on queer/questioning thought and activism but also contributes to contemporary sex-gendered dissident proposals. This article presents some epistemic contributions from the transfigurations, twists, “indecencies,” and resignifications of the religious. It is presented as an example of this theological integration to the program of the Doctorate in Critical Gender Studies of the Universidad Iberoamericana. In particular, the proposal of this article aims to analyze the intersection body–gender–religion from a hermeneutic approach of the book Dios cuir, by the Argentinean theologian Marcella Althaus-Reid.
